It seems like there is a vitamin or supplement for just about everything these days.  As scientists and nutritionists discover more about the various nutrients and hormones and how they impact our bodily functions, others capitalize on this by turning these into supplements that are then marketed to people’s deepest desires: for example, to lose weight, increase height, build more muscle, or just have a healthier body.

One of the supplements that I’ve been seeing more of lately is Growth Flex, which stimulates growth and development in adults via growth hormones.  I was a little skeptical at first, but after reading through the site I began to wonder if this stuff really does what it claims to do.  The testimonials were glowing with praise, and one woman reported a height increase of 7 centimeters — almost 3 inches!

Frankly, this is all a little beyond my understanding.  I’m no scientist or doctor, but I know that height growth usually ends in adolescence.  I guess it makes sense though that since the body’s hormones are responsible for triggering growth in childhood and adolescence, replacement hormones could have a similar effect in adulthood.

What do you think?
